Struggling Ehime will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying V-Varen Nagasaki in the upcoming league round. It’s 22nd vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ehime and V-Varen Nagasaki.

Ehime form and stats

Ehime's struggle is real here at Ningineer Stadium with only 10 points collected from 14 J2-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-8. With seven home J2-League games in a row without a win, the Ehime fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Omiya Ardija game long ago, can be stopped today. Ehime has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager K. Kawai and the players.

No payout for Ehime in their previous match, an away game at Montedio Yamagata that ended in defeat 1-4. Before that game, the home loss against Tokyo Verdy with the scoreline 1-4.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Tochigi are coming to town in four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ehime here at Ningineer Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 14 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Ehime's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times.
